Well I could see how that makes sense...

Alice* says she feels “not in the slightest” guilty about using ChatGPT to complete training tasks, saying it is easy to get away with as long as you instruct chatbots to avoid the usual telltale signs of AI output, like a preponderance of em-dashes. “It’s only the sloppiest of users that get caught,” she says. “Anyone with a modicum of awareness around AI hallmarks can tell their output not to use them, and at that point what are you going to do?”

Another worker, Bob*, worked for a training platform called Outlier. Initially, he was tasked with AI training, which he says he illicitly used AI for, and was then promoted to a leadership role where part of his job was to catch others doing the same thing.

“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and adjusting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product,” said Charles Poon, VP of vehicle hardware engineering, in a briefing this week with reporters.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (Jun 24) reportedly got into a heated shouting match with Republican Senator Bill Cassidy during a closed-door meeting with GOP lawmakers. ...

"I stood and said, 'You have not told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last four weeks; it's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what's going on,'" Cassidy said.

According to CNN, Trump interrupted Cassidy repeatedly, ordered him to sit down and at one point called him a "lunatic." Cassidy reportedly refused to back down, raising his own voice during the exchange.

"I didn't care to be interrupted," Cassidy said. "I felt like I was trying to get answers for the American people, and I'm not going to be bullied when I'm trying to get answers."

Republican senators switched their votes on an Iran war powers resolution late Wednesday, hours after a fractious meeting that included a shouting match with President Donald Trump over their opposition to the conflict.

Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., had previously voted to progress the resolution giving Congress the ability to halt the war.

But after a contentious closed-door lunch Wednesday, in which Cassidy said he had “lost my temper” and Trump said he raised his voice as well, Republicans held a late-night vote in which the two senators backed away from their support for the resolution.

Cassidy, the outgoing Louisiana senator, was given a private briefing before the vote at the White House that he said addressed “many of my concerns.”

He then returned to Capitol Hill to vote against the resolution that would have seen Congress direct Trump “to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.”
